Jack Oliver – Winter Steve Parr Round

"I've got no hardship being in that environment because I think it's just a great place to be..."

The Steve Parr Round is one of the fastest-growing challenges you can attempt in the Lake District. Consisting of 66 peaks, covering approximately 116 miles, the Round is to be completed in under 48 hours and was named after accomplished mountaineer Steve Parr, who originally completed the first round in 1984 starting and finishing at the Keswick Moot Hall.

Jack Oliver became the most recent successor of the Steve Parr Round, breaking the record for the winter route. Jack approached this new challenge with excitement and with his intense passion for the Lake District and the fell running community.

“I’ve worked, climbed and ran in the lakes and Scottish mountains for a long time. Much of that has been personal experience and a good understanding of what the winter does to the mountains, particularly here in the Lakes.
